Unlocking Potential 1 Understanding the Open Business Model The value proposition for the government – Learning from industry DISTRIBUTION STATEMENT A. Approved for public release. CAPT Paul VanBenthem, Deputy, Navy Open Architecture Implementation, DASN (RDT&E) The views presented are those of the presenter and do not necessarily represent the views of DoD or its Components.

Unlocking Potential 2 DoD and OA DoD has long strived to gain benefits from Open Systems Architecture (OSA) approaches by acquiring data rights and; contracting with industry to define an open system Typically resulted in a vendor-specific product line or platform-unique architecture

Unlocking Potential 3 DoD Impediments to Transformation Political contributions help shape policy Secure defense contracts/earmarks and influence defense budget to make contracts more likely Over $27 million during 2012 campaign cycle Biggest contributors: L-M, Boeing, GD, NG, UT, Raytheon $132 million lobbying dollars spent in 2012 Biggest spenders: Boeing, UT, L-M Acquisition legislative and policy constraints Stovepipes Funding Program Source: Center for Responsive Politics,

Unlocking Potential 4 Learning from Industry DoD can learn from commercial industry's playbook leverage their “lessons learned” based on product-line success Industry has proven that investment in initial product-line architecture reaps system life cycle cost reductions due to: integration Planning for obsolescence technical refresh common components and software across platforms

Unlocking Potential 5 Typical Industry Standard Practices Multi-use – multiple levels Architecture Hardware modules and structures Software Common core components Design Standardized interfaces Require use of standard interfaces between modules Multiple vendors able to produce modules meeting form/fit/function requirements

Unlocking Potential 9 GM Transformation GM’s bankruptcy inspired radical change GM CEO Fritz Henderson: four core values customer/product focus Speed risk-taking accountability Operating model team overhauled the company’s bureaucracy dismantled GM’s bureaucratic “matrix” structure Culture transformation team implemented the new cultural values in the workforce Layers of bureaucracy removed Source:

Unlocking Potential 10 General Motors Adopting a more flexible approach mixes and matches modules across product portfolio Modular architectures enable: quick reaction to changes in consumer preferences shorten vehicle development times Reduce architectures from 30 in 2010 to 17 in 2018, core platforms from 39% to 96% to 99% on core architectures by 2020 to 4 basic vehicle sets in 2025 Consolidate lead engineering to one center drive inefficiency out of product-development process Sources:

Unlocking Potential 11 Efficient and frequent capability insertion and technology refresh to overcome obsolescence at the lowest possible cost Greater mission adaptability and warfighting dominance via re-configuration Increased efficiencies in ship design, construction, testing, sustainment, and disposal achieve affordable relevance over the lifecycle Modular and Open Warship Vision Top-level Objective: Affordable Relevance over the Life Cycle Flexible Ship = Platform + Payload + Growth Margin
